sudden glut of "Policy Error Executing Maintenance on __" messages

For reasons unknown, I am getting many (36 so far) error messages from my
JSS/Casper server, all with this subject line:

"Policy Error Executing Maintenance on (comp name)"

I rarely see messages like these so getting so many has me searching for
causes.

Has anyone seen something like this or have any suggestions on where to
look?

I haven't altered the policy "Maintenance" and I restarted my JSS/Casper
server a few hours ago. The seemed to stop the error messages. Then a
couple of hours later, they started again.

Here's the text from one of the error messages:

An error occurred executing the policy "Maintenance" on the computer
"GH-MB-A2".

Event log from the policy:

The error I see right away is that the disk needs repaired, and the error
could be that it cannot repair a disk that it is booted from. I would try
booting that specific machine either from a Leopard Disc or a netboot server
and try repairing the disk. If that still throws an error, it looks like
you might need to run something like DiskWarrior on it.
